An entire universe crammed inside the event horizon seems pretty dense to me! Makes you wonder how much matter would be in the parent universe.

The new file sharing menu looks great. Honestly it looks like something I'd expect to see in macOS.

It's not? The iPhone App library has a TERRIBLE UX with its mandatory (and confusing) grouping. The Windows 11 Start Menu grid is fine just the way it is, but I guess now there is a category mode for people who like to hide their apps.

I've been using Firefox for the last 4+ years and it's been mostly fine. I have Chrome for the very occasional site that doesn't behave right, but they're few and far between (like maybe once a year).

I think the first statement is reporting on market cap and the second statement is reporting on revenue. If you look at UMG's revenue, one of the largest labels, their revenue was 11B.

They basically did the same thing, which is why there was a lawsuit. It's also why Google preemitively offered users free money--it was informed by the lawsuit against Apple for the same shit.

Copyright law stipulates the conditions in which content can be reproduced, not conditions in which it can be consumed. Arguably the material has been learned and not copied. Maybe in some cases learned with an uncanny ability or photograph

It's worth noting that 'taking a proposal seriously' doesn't equate to accepting it.

Something here is not quite right. For example, if you look at the 7th ave line (red line/1,2,3) 18th street and 14th street have similar radii. But anyone knows that 14th street is much more convenient because it's triply service

It does. New York's system is one of only a handful in the world that operates all (or nearly all) lines 24/7.

You do realize health insurers have federally mandated caps on their profits, which simply incentivizes creative accounting to make money in more oblique ways, right?

They're exiting the market because the states have limits on how premiums can increase y/y. The risk modeling (which is turning out to be right) says premiums are fractional of what they should be. So unable to raise premiums, the

GC emulation wasn't emulation; it was done with a separate chip. It was more like native support. Eventually Nintendo removed that chip and backward-compatibility support from the console. (so, even if you could put a GC disk in, it di

People don't want to be taken care of if they're sick or injured? They'd rather be backfired or dead because of an accident? Unless if they participate in the American employment cabal? Please. People want to be taken care of

The reality is Google's peak messaging days were 2016-2019. When you could send/receive text messages from your Gmail inbox alongside Google's native chat platform. Also, all of your chats were backed up and searchable by Gma

There’s something very funny to me about SFs weather score being as high as it is. While I’d say it is certainly mild, I’d stop short of declaring it definitively better. Maybe it’s the northerner in me who actually prefers seasons and does

The problem is “just remember!” is not exactly foolproof. I have steam email set up for 2fa, they gave the account away regardless. Actually, I don’t think I ever attached my phone number for recovery purposes, I suspect I added it as a st

SQLite is self-described as not open contribution. So yes by their own measure they've made it more difficult to mainline features (and intentionally so).

sure, you can always move the old storage mechanism to something new if it is too cumbersome. why still back up floppies if you could just move the data to a single dvd, or throw is on the SAN? RAID is just algorithms, the actual transport

e-/bikes and e-/scooters are big changes to city navigation. e-skate and segways are non-factors. And that's the difference between a good product (ebike or even just plain old bikeshare) and a bad one (segway).

Will you release the code into the public domain, like SQLite?

a side note, I actually quite like this game even though it's horrendously luck based. Like a less competitive monopoly.

Intel is the only hope for relatively short-term microprocessor fabrication on the continent. TSMC is trying to do fabs here but that's going to take ages to scale. The real question is, how do you subsidize this sort of development fr

technically open ai has respected copyright, except in the (few) instances they produce non-fair-use amounts of copyrighted material. dmca does not cover scraping.
